graphviz is a set of graph drawing tools for Unix or MS-Windows
|
|
(win32), including a web service interface (webdot). Graph
|
|
drawing addresses the problem of visualizing structural information
|
|
by constructing geometric representations of abstract graphs and
|
|
networks.
|
|
|
|
The goal of graphviz has been twofold:
|
|
|
|
to find efficient algorithms for making very readable
|
|
drawings of graphs up to several hundreds of nodes,
|
|
approaching the quality of manual layouts (made
|
|
with CAD tools). The algorithms should scale even
|
|
further, as layout of large graphs can also offer
|
|
a gestalt view of complex systems.
|
|
|
|
to create convenient graph drawing systems and web
|
|
services. This means defining useful interfaces and
|
|
features to support applications.
|
|
|
|
The package includes
|
|
|
|
dot - makes hierarchical layouts of directed graphs
|
|
neato - makes "spring" model layouts of undirected graphs
|
|
dotty - a customizable interface written in LEFTY
|
|
tcldot - a customizable graphical interface written in tcl7.6
|
|
libgraph - the base library for graph tools
